Hi hoyzhou. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion on the deal that you got if you let me know what these numbers are.

Hi Car_man,
Could you please help me find out the latest residual and money factor numbers for a Mazda3s Touring 5-door automatic, for 12K/yr and 36, 39 and 42 months? Trying to help my sister decide what she can afford to lease ...
Thanks,
David

Car_Man,
I have an offer from a dealer for the subject car of $17484 (base car with Auto and ABS), MSRP is $19365. With that in mind what should I be looking at for a 39 month lease with $0 down and 12K miles?

Hi David. I'd be happy to help you out. If your sister was to lease a 2006 Mazda3 Touring 5-Door through its captive finance company right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00315 and 52%, respectively. As you can see, it does not have a very attractive money factor. I haven't seen any info on 39 or 42 month leases of this car, but I can tell you about its 48 month lease program if you would like.

Greetings deejay2099. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Mazda3 S 5-Door with an MSRP of $19,365 and a selling price of $17,484 through Mazda Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $293. I worked up a 36 month payment for you because I don't believe that Mazda is offering 39 month leases on this car right now.

help in Los Angeles

I am coming off a three year lease on a 2003 passat.
I have read so much good about the MAzda3
yet my emails to dealers asking for lease deals have gone unanswered.
Is there any way to get a good lease deal on a MAzda3 (like the ones offered on jetta/passat, even saab 3 and audi4)
should i wait until after jan 3 (when all the current manufacturer deals end) for better deals in jan...does history show greater incentives in january?
thanx

The Mazda3 is selling very well so I wouldn't hold your breath for a good lease deal.

Hi murphy123. Unfortunately, Mazda's current lease program on the Mazda3 is not nearly as attractive as the leases that Volkswagen has been offering on the Passat, Saab has been offering on the 9-3, or Audi has been offering on the A4. Given the lack of lease support that is available on this car right now, it couldn't hurt to wait until after January 3rd to lease one. Its lease program can't get much worse. I certainly would finance or pay cash for this car rather than lease it right now. As the previous poster said though, don't hold your breath for an unbelievable lease on this car.

Carman,
Thnaks very much for your frank appraisal of the MAzda lease program. I will watch for developments this month...but won't be holding my breath!
Cheers
